The article explains how such datasets can be acquired and used to obtain information about large numbers of people with fewer external procedures. ### Source excerpt Uit een vandaag verschenen onderzoeksrapport (PDF) blijkt dat de AIVD en MIVD slordig en soms onrechtmatig omgaan met bulkdatasets. Bulkdatasets zijn grote bestanden vol data over vaak miljoenen willekeurige mensen, data die op een of andere manier in het bezit van de diensten gekomen is. Uit het rapport: "De diensten kunnen bulkdatasets bijvoorbeeld verkrijgen van informanten, andere overheidsorganisaties, buitenlandse inlichtingendiensten, of tegen betaling van commerciële partijen. De diensten kunnen ook bijzondere bevoegdheden inzetten om bulkdatasets te verwerven. ## CSAM Regulation Update: Dutch Intelligence agency weighs in DevFeed: [CSAM Regulation Update: Dutch Intelligence agency weighs in]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2024-10-01T17:52:22Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [End-to-End Encryption](), [Security](), [Cryptography](), [Mobile](), [Artificial Intelligence](), [communications]() Tags: [aivd](), [apple](), [civil-rights](), [csam](), [encryption](), [eu](), [politics](), [privacy](), [security](), [signal](), [telegram](), [whatsapp]() ### AI overview The article discusses a proposed EU CSAM regulation that could require scanning private messages and images on encrypted communication services. It reports that the Dutch government consulted the AIVD, which regarded detection orders and the associated scanning infrastructure as too large a security risk for digital resilience. ### Source excerpt A quick update - The European Commission and EU member states have been pondering, for years now, if they should force WhatsApp/Apple/Signal/Telegram to scan all our private messages for suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM). For various reasons it is a horrendous idea to break end to end encryption in this likely highly ineffective way. Variations of the proposal have also included a mandate to perform such scanning of images using AI, and even to also read our text messages to see if we aren't "grooming" children. ## Toezicht AIVD en MIVD, zonder toezichthouders, zonder kantoor DevFeed: [Toezicht AIVD en MIVD, zonder toezichthouders, zonder kantoor]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2024-06-20T15:40:21Z Content type: opinion Language: nl Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [Internet](), [Artificial Intelligence]() Tags: [ai](), [aivd](), [internet](), [mivd](), [nederlands]() ### AI overview The article discusses a Dutch law affecting oversight of AIVD and MIVD. It describes reduced prior procedural checks for hacking and wiretapping, broader authority to place hacking victims under surveillance, and the removal of prior review for using AI to search intercepted internet cables. It also examines concerns about whether promised expanded oversight capacity was delivered. ### Source excerpt 1 juli gaat hij in, de door AIVD en MIVD zo zeer begeerde wet die het toezicht op deze diensten flink omploegt. In 2022 begon de discussie: minder gedetailleerde procedures vooraf om te mogen hacken en tappen, en meer ruimte om slachtoffers van hacks direct ook onder de tap te kunnen zetten, zonder nieuwe toestemming aan te hoeven vragen. En ook geen toets vooraf meer om met AI te mogen zoeken in grote afgeluisterde (internet)kabels, plus respectievelijk minder of geen argumentatie nodig om die grote communicatiekabels te mogen tappen of "verkennen". ## A New Role on the Dutch Intelligence and Security Services Oversight Committee DevFeed: [A New Role on the Dutch Intelligence and Security Services Oversight Committee]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2020-11-27T12:00:22Z Content type: opinion Language: nl Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [Hacking](), [Open Source]() Tags: [aivd](), [hacking](), [intelligence](), [open-source]() ### AI overview The author announces a new role as one of three members of the Dutch Review Committee on the Deployment of Powers, which assesses the legality of ministerial authorizations for intelligence and security services. The author explains the committee's composition and appointment process, and says they support both effective intelligence work and the rule of law. ### Source excerpt Dit is waarschijnlijk de laatste keer dat ik zal bloggen over mijn nieuwe (part-time) baan. Met ingang van 1 december ben ik één van de drie leden van de commissie die lasten voor de Nederlandse inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten toetst, de Toetsingscommissie Inzet Bevoegdheden (TIB). Als een van de civiele of militaire inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten van Nederland gebruik wil maken van hun bevoegdheden tot aftappen, afluisteren, SIGINT- of hacking moeten ze eerst hun eigen juristen overtuigen, dan hun ministerie en tenslotte de TIB.
